Met Office climate change resources
October 14, 2007 at 8:46 am | In Climate change, Education, Met Office, Students, Teachers | 1 CommentFor teachers and students, here’s a list to key pages on the Met Office site that deal with climate change. I shall add similar lists of links for the Royal Society and NERC sites soon 
Met Office: Climate change myths – some of the common myths of climate change are explained by the Met Office Chief Scientist
- Myth 1 – Ice core records show that changes in temperature drive changes in carbon dioxide, and it is not carbon dioxide that is driving the current warming
- Myth 2 – Solar activity is the main driver of climate change
- Myth 3 – There is less warming in the upper atmosphere than at the surface which disproves human-induced warming
- Myth 4 – The intensity of cosmic rays changes climate
- Myth 5 – Climate models are too complex and uncertain to provide useful projections of climate change

Even letting the debate continue, when our species may hang in the balance, says something about us. I argue that there is a certain presumptuousness surrounding our approach to how we are addressing global warming that goes well beyond simply having a short-term perspective. What if the cockroach has a more sustainable position? I recommend the following post: http://euandus3.wordpress.com/2009/11/05/climatic-presumption-what-is-the-forecast/
